Tuning Up: Calls for Art! + STEAM workshop
Good morning!
“Tuning Up” is a morning post series where The Hub delivers quick-hit arts stories of interest to readers. Sometimes there will be one story, sometimes there will be several. Get in tune now, and have a masterpiece of a day. And now, in no particular order…
Calls. For. Art.
We have a couple calls for art this morning, which can only mean one thing: it’s time to fire up the ol’ calls for art megaphone:
- Okay, so the first is an RFQ, but it counts, right? (Right?) City of Mauldin and the Mauldin Cultural Council in … Mauldin … invite all South Carolina based visual artists – working solo or as a team – to submit qualifications for the Mauldin Public Art Trail. The selected artist/team will create work in any medium that reflects the specific theme “Industry of the Upstate.” The deadline for submissions is Monday, April 16, 2018 at 5 p.m. The selected artist(s) can create a work in any medium as long as it reflects the stated theme. A minimum of two artists/teams will be selected as “finalists” by April 24, 2018.
- There is still time to apply to participate in STYLE ’18! Now in its 12th year, STYLE is a show, sale and benefit celebrating independent contemporary design. This is a curated event focused on the highest quality fashion, jewelry and accessories.

STEAM Workshop
SC Afterschool Alliance invites you to spend a “Morning with STEM” (just wait…): workshops that will provide valuable resources that can be used with your students immediately and designed to promote engagement, creativity and success. Over the next few months, they plan to present sessions to help you learn to integrate technology with literacy, math, art and science to expand your STEM offerings. Included in April’s session is “STEM is Gaining STEAM.” The workshop is Thursday morning, April 10 in Columbia at SCETV. Register for the free workshop here.
